BAKING
Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. We recommend that you operate the oven for a number of weeks using the time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your new oven’s performance. If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat section. It gives easy D(J It K)ur.se/f’ instructions on how to adjust the thermostat.
NOTE: When the oven gets hot, the top and outsi( surfaces of the oven get hot too.
How to Set Your Oven for Baking
To avoid possible burns, place shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on.
1.Press the BAKE pad.
2.Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired temperature is displayed.
The oven will start automatically. The word “ON” and “1000’” will be displayed. As the oven heats up, the display will show the changing temperature. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a tone will sound.
3.Press the CLEAWOFF pad when baking is finishe and then remove the food from the oven.
NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run after the oven is turned off.
To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle, press the BAKE pad and then the INCREASI or DECREASE pad to get the new temperature.
Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven rw’ shelf or shelves in
the desired locations while the oven is cool. The correct shelf position depends on the kind of food and the browning desired. As a general rule, place most foods in the middle of the
oven, on either shelf positions C or D. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.
NOTE: To bake 4 layers of cake at one time, position 2 layers on shelf B and 2 layers on shelf D with the pans staggered so that one is not directly above the other.
